So the new job and early hour (I get up at 6:00 now!), have kept me from getting a new post together. But, I have a good feeling about tonight. In the meantime, here are some pictures of our meal at the Silverwater Cafe in Port Townsend.
Edited to add, yay! It got there to Andrew at Spittoon Extra. It’s really cool to think that my art project from the basement last weekend is now in England! I recently registered for What’s for Lunch Honey’s Blogger Postcards Around the World event. So fun. Buy or make a postcard for your secret postcard buddy, mail it off and receive another postcard from your own food blogging sender. I’ve received my recipient (not telling yet!), made my postcard this weekend, and it’s all ready to go in the mail Monday. Going to the post office and everything.
The one thing is as it’s a whole lot of acrylic paint and ink jet ink, I’ve decided to put the postcard in a vellum envelope, lest the receiver open their mailbox to a gloopy, wet mess if the postcard gets rained or snowed on en route.

The theme for this Weekend Cookbook Challenge #9 was the opposite of last month’s Foreign food. This time it’s the food of your country/culture.

This is a very simple yet delicious thing to do with salmon. You basically just grill it with olive oil, salt and pepper and serve it with an herbed hazelnut butter. It was very good and the recipe yields leftover butter that you can do all kinds of decadent and crazy things with at a later date. Grilled Salmon with Hazelnut-Lime Butter For the Butter
Let me start by saying that I think this is the juiciest chicken I have ever made. Wow. The flavor was excellent as well. This goes great with couscous, polenta or crusty bread. This recipe comes from the Tastes of the Pacific Northwest cookbook and I came across it as I was researching my WCC#9 recipe. I found another dish from this cookbook that I will be posting about next Monday for that Weekend Cookbook Challenge but this chicken definitely deserves its own post! Plus, the bay leaf is from our backyard — that’s pretty damn regional! Baked Chicken with Caramelized Sweet Onions |
